Wendel Clark is Barry Melrose's cousin : according to Wikipedia's "List of Family Relations in NHL". There's also the List of second generation Major League Baseball players and many other random lists of sportspeople.
Perhaps Melrose's mullet is the result of a hair transplant from the top of Clark's head.

Clark was a good player, to bd he was plagued by back injuries.

Phil Esposito - Alexander Selivanov (father-in-law & son-in-law) For the drama of 1972, this always makes me laugh.

Pffft. Big deal. Everyone who was born in Saskatchewan is related. Last time out there, I played a round of golf in Moose Jaw, and the very first rule posted by the first tee was that players are explicitly forbidden from removing their shirt during play. I believe it was the 12th hole when we noticed the pro shop guy wandering around with a .303 shooting prairie dogs. Really a great day. I also birdied a 602 yard par 5. Wait. What were we talking about?
